Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、例えば、自動車のドアトリムの如き取付部品をパネルに固定する固定クリップに関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来のこの種固定クリップとして、実用新案登録第２５００２２７号公報に示すものが存する。
該従来の固定クリップは、裏面にボス部を有するドアトリムを取付孔が穿設された車体パネルに固定せんとするもので、具体的には図示しないが、上記車体パネルの取付孔に係着する脚部と、金属製のプッシュナットを収納する頭部とを備え、脚部は、対向する外周に一対の弾性肩部を形成し、頭部は、内部にプッシユナットを収納する収納空洞を画成すると共に、該収納空洞と連通するボス部の挿通孔を形成する構成となっている。
【０００３】
そして、実際に、ドアトリムを車体パネルに固定する場合には、まず、頭部の収納空洞内にその入口からプッシュナットを収納する状態を得て、そのまま、固定クリップの脚部を車体パネルの取付孔に係着した後、ドアトリムのボス部を頭部の挿通孔からプッシュナットの内孔に挿入すると、当該プッシュナットの内孔縁に形成された爪がドアトリムのボス部に食い込むので、これにより、ドアトリムが車体パネルに固定されることとなる。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従って、従来の固定クリップは、ドアトリムのボス部に対するプッシュナットの食い込みで、ドアトリムを車体パネル側に強固に固定することが可能となる訳であるが、一旦、ドアパネルのボス部にプッシュナットを食い込ませてしまうと、ドアトリム側から固定クリップを取り外すことができないので、固定クリップの脚部等が破損しても、これを交換することは不可能であった。そこで、無理矢理、固定クリップをボス部から引き抜こうとすると、今度は、ボス部がプッシュナットの爪で削り取られてしまうので、ボス部自体の再使用が不可能となってしまう。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、斯かる従来の固定クリップが抱える課題を有効に解決するために開発されたもので、請求項１記載の発明は、ボス部を有する取付部品を取付孔が穿設されたパネルに固定する固定クリップであって、パネルの取付孔に係着する脚部と、金属製のプッシュナットを収納する頭部とを備え、該頭部は、プッシュナットを収納する収納空洞を有し、該収納空洞の入口はプッシュナットの外径よりも小さく、収納空洞の内部はプッシュナットの外径よりも大きくなるように設定し、上記頭部に収納されるプッシュナットは、上記取付部品のボス部を挿入する内孔から外周に向けて切り欠いた開放口を開設すると共に、該開放口と対向する部分を頭部から露出せしめる構成を採用した。
【０００６】
請求項２記載の発明は、請求項１を前提として、プッシュナットの頭部から露出する部分を頭部から外方に突出する摘み片となす構成を採用した。
【０００７】
請求項３記載の発明は、請求項１乃至請求項２を前提として、頭部に形成される取付部品のボス部の挿通孔をボス部の外径よりも大きくする構成を採用した。
【０００９】
依って、請求項１記載の発明にあっては、固定クリップが取付部品のボス部に取り付けられている状態の下では、開放口を強制的に取付部品のボス部で押し広げながら、プッシュナットの頭部から露出する部分を工具等で把持したり引っ掛けたりして引っ張ると、プッシュナットのボス部に対する食い込みが解かれて、プッシュナットを頭部から完全に引き抜けるので、これにより、固定クリップをボス部から簡単に取り外せると共に、ボス部をその軸方向に沿って傷つけることもなくなる。又、これに加えて、その径差により、プッシュナットが収納空洞から脱落することはないが、収納空洞の内部では自由に動ける結果、取付部品のボス部をプッシュナットの内孔に挿入する場合でも、プッシュナットの位置を自動的にセンタリングしながら挿入できるので、挿入作業性も良好となる。
【００１０】
請求項２記載の発明にあっては、これに加えて、頭部から外方に突出する摘み片の存在で、プッシュナットの頭部内での回転を規制して、プッシュナットの引き抜き時に、プッシュナットの開放口を常に適切な位置になるように設定できると共に、プライヤーなどの工具で一層把持し易くなる。請求項３記載の発明にあっては、これに加えて、その径差により、固定クリップ自体がボス部に対して自由に動けるので、取付部品のボス部とパネルの取付孔の位置関係にズレが生じていても、クリップの移動で当該ズレを効果的に吸収することが可能となる。
【００１１】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を図示する好適な実施の形態に基づいて詳述すれば、該実施の形態に係る固定クリップも、裏面にボス部を有するドアトリムを取付孔が穿設された車体パネルに固定するもので、従来と同様に、図１に示す如く、車体パネルの取付孔に係着する脚部１と、金属製のプッシュナット３を収納する頭部２とを備える構成となっている。尚、この脚部１と頭部２は、合成樹脂材料で一体に成形されている。
【００１２】
そして、脚部１は、図２にも示す如く、その軸線方向に縦スリット５を介して延びる２個の弾性係止壁４とフランジ６を有し、頭部２は、内部にプッシュナット３を収納する収納空洞７を有して、該収納空洞７の入口７ａ側はプッシュナット３の外径よりも小さく、収納空洞７の内部７ｂ側はプッシュナット３の外径よりも大きくなるように設定してある。従って、収納空洞７の入口７ａを強制的に通過したプッシュナット３は、収納空洞７の内部７ｂにおいては可能な範囲で自由に動けることとなる。
【００１３】
更に、頭部２は、上記収納空洞７と直交する状態をもって連通してドアトリムのボス部を挿通する挿通孔８を有するものであるが、この挿通孔８の径をボス部の外径よりも大きくなるように設定している。従って、上記したプッシュナット３の自由移動と相俟って、その分だけ、固定クリップ自体がボス部に対して動くことが可能となる。尚、図中、２ａは、頭部２の上面に形成された切欠窓で、収納空洞７の入口７ａを画成する側壁の撓みを促して、収納空洞７に対するプッシュナット３の挿入と引き抜きを容易ならしめるものである。
【００１４】
又、頭部２の収納空洞７に収納される金属製のプッシュナット３は、その中心に上記ドアトリムのボス部を挿入する内孔９を設けて、該内孔９縁にドアトリムのボス部に食い込む爪１０を傾斜させて形成する一方、内孔９から外周に向けて切り欠いた開放口１１を開設すると共に、該開放口１１と対向する部分に収納空洞７の入口７ａから外方に突出する摘み片１２を延設する構成となっているが、本発明は、この摘み片１２に限定されるものではなく、工具等で把持したり引っ掛けたりできる露出部をもって構成することも可能である。
【００１５】
依って、斯かる構成の固定クリップを用いて、ドアトリム２１を車体パネルＰに固定する場合には、まず、プッシュナット３の摘み片１２を工具等で把持しながら、頭部２の収納空洞７にその入口７ａからプッシュナット３を強制的に押し込んで、プッシュナット３を収納空洞７の内部７ｂに抜け外れることなく移動可能に収納した後、頭部２の挿通孔８から収納空洞７内にドアトリム２１のボス部２２を挿入すると、図３に示す如く、該ボス部２２がプッシュナット３の内孔９内に挿入されると同時に、当該内孔９縁に形成された爪１０がボス部２２の外周面に食い込むので、これにより、ドアトリム２１のボス部２２に固定クリップが先付けされる。尚、この状態にあっては、プッシュナット３の摘み片１２は収納空洞７の入口７ａから外方に突出している。
【００１６】
又、ドアトリム２１のボス部２２を頭部２の挿通孔８からプッシュナット３の内孔９に挿入する時に、プッシュナット３が収納空洞７内で移動して、その内孔９とボス部２２とが一致していないような場合でも、内孔９縁に形成される爪１０が傾斜している関係で、この傾斜形状を利用すれば、プッシュナット３の位置を自動的にセンタリングしながら挿入できるので、挿入作業性が良好となる。
【００１７】
そこで、後は、図４に示す如く、ドアトリム２１のボス部２２側に取り付けられている固定クリップの脚部１を車体パネルＰに予め穿設されている取付孔Ｈに押し込むと、脚部１の各弾性係止壁４が内側に撓んで取付孔Ｈを通過して、各自の張出肩部を取付孔Ｈの孔縁に係止するので、これにより、ドアトリム２１を車体パネルＰ側に固定することが可能となる。
【００１８】
この最終的な作業において、ドアトリム２１のボス部２２と車体パネルＰの取付孔Ｈの位置関係にズレが生じていても、ボス部２２に対する固定クリップの移動で当該ズレを効果的に吸収することが可能となるので、ドアトリム２１の確実な固定状態が保障できることとなる。
【００１９】
又、ドアトリム２１の固定作業中に、例えば、固定クリップの脚部１が破損して、固定クリップの交換が余儀なくされるような場合には、プッシュナット３の開放口１１を強制的にドアトリム２１のボス部２２で押し広げながら、頭部２の収納空洞７の入口７ａから突出するプッシュナット３の摘み片１２を工具等で把持して引っ張ると、図５に示す如く、プッシュナット３のボス部２２に対する食い込みが解かれて、収納空洞７から完全に引き抜けるので、これにより、固定クリップをボス部２２から簡単に取り外せると共に、ボス部２２をその軸方向に沿って傷つける心配もなくなる。
【００２０】
更に、本実施の形態にあっては、頭部２から外方に突出する摘み片１２の存在で、収納空洞７の入口７ａ側により、プッシュナット３の収納空洞７内での自由回転を規制して、プッシュナット３の引き抜き時に、プッシュナット３の開放口１１を常に適切な位置になるように設定できると共に、プライヤーなどの工具で把持し易くなる。
【００２１】
【発明の効果】
以上の如く、本発明は、上記構成の採用により、固定クリップが取付部品のボス部に取り付けられている状態の下では、開放口を強制的に取付部品のボス部で押し広げながら、プッシュナットの頭部から露出する部分を工具等で把持したり引っ掛けたりして引っ張ると、プッシュナットのボス部に対する食い込みが解かれて、プッシュナットを頭部から完全に引き抜けるので、これにより、固定クリップをボス部から簡単に取り外せると共に、ボス部をその軸方向に沿って傷つけることもなくなる。又、これに加えて、その径差により、プッシュナットが収納空洞から脱落することはないが、収納空洞の内部では自由に動ける結果、取付部品のボス部をプッシュナットの内孔に挿入する場合でも、プッシュナットの位置を自動的にセンタリングしながら挿入できるので、挿入作業性も良好となる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a fixing clip for fixing a mounting part such as a door trim of an automobile to a panel.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As this type of conventional fixing clip, there is one shown in Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 2500287.
The conventional fixing clip is intended to fix a door trim having a boss portion on the back surface to a vehicle body panel having a mounting hole, and although not specifically shown, it is engaged with the mounting hole of the vehicle body panel. It has a leg part and a head part that houses a metal push nut. The leg part forms a pair of elastic shoulder parts on the outer periphery facing each other, and the head part defines a housing cavity that accommodates a push nut inside. In addition, the insertion hole of the boss part communicating with the storage cavity is formed.
[0003]
When actually fixing the door trim to the vehicle body panel, first obtain the state in which the push nut is stored from the entrance into the storage cavity of the head, and the leg of the fixing clip is attached to the vehicle body panel as it is. After engaging the hole, when the boss part of the door trim is inserted into the inner hole of the push nut from the insertion hole of the head, the claw formed on the inner hole edge of the push nut bites into the boss part of the door trim. The door trim is fixed to the vehicle body panel.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, the conventional fixing clip allows the door trim to be firmly fixed to the vehicle body panel side by biting the push nut against the boss portion of the door trim, but once the push nut bites into the boss portion of the door panel. If this happens, the fixing clip cannot be removed from the door trim side, so that it is impossible to replace the fixing clip even if the legs of the fixing clip are damaged. Therefore, if the fixing clip is forcibly pulled out from the boss portion, the boss portion will be scraped off by the push nut claw, and the boss portion itself cannot be reused.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention was developed in order to effectively solve the problems of the conventional fixing clip, and the invention according to claim 1 provides a mounting part having a boss portion on a panel having a mounting hole. A fixing clip for fixing, comprising a leg portion engaged with a mounting hole of the panel, and a head portion for storing a metal push nut, the head portion having a storage cavity for storing the push nut, The entrance of the storage cavity is set to be smaller than the outer diameter of the push nut, the inside of the storage cavity is set to be larger than the outer diameter of the push nut, and the push nut stored in the head is a boss of the mounting part. A configuration was adopted in which an opening was cut out from the inner hole into which the portion was inserted toward the outer periphery, and the portion facing the opening was exposed from the head.
[0006]
The invention described in claim 2 is based on the premise of claim 1 and adopts a configuration in which a portion exposed from the head of the push nut is a knob piece protruding outward from the head.
[0007]
The invention described in claim 3 is based on the premise of claims 1 and 2 and adopts a configuration in which the insertion hole of the boss portion of the mounting part formed on the head is made larger than the outer diameter of the boss portion.
[0009]
Therefore, in the invention according to claim 1, under the state where the fixing clip is attached to the boss portion of the attachment part, the push nut is forcibly expanded by the boss part of the attachment part. If the part exposed from the head is gripped or pulled with a tool or the like, the push nut is released from the boss and the push nut is completely pulled out of the head. It can be easily removed from the boss, and the boss is not damaged along the axial direction. In addition to this, the push nut does not fall out of the storage cavity due to the difference in diameter, but it can move freely inside the storage cavity, so that the boss part of the mounting part is inserted into the inner hole of the push nut. However, since the push nut can be inserted while being automatically centered, the insertion workability is also improved.
[0010]
In the invention of claim 2, in addition to this, in the presence of a knob piece protruding outward from the head, the rotation within the head of the push nut is restricted, and when the push nut is pulled out, It is possible to set the opening of the push nut so as to be always at an appropriate position, and it becomes easier to grip with a tool such as a pliers. In addition to this, since the fixing clip itself can move freely with respect to the boss portion due to the difference in diameter, the positional relationship between the boss portion of the mounting part and the mounting hole of the panel is shifted. Even if this occurs, the displacement can be effectively absorbed by the movement of the clip.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on a preferred embodiment shown in the drawings. The fixing clip according to the embodiment also fixes a door trim having a boss portion on the back surface to a vehicle body panel having a mounting hole. As in the prior art, as shown in FIG. 1, a leg portion 1 that is engaged with a mounting hole of a vehicle body panel and a head portion 2 that houses a metal push nut 3 are provided. The leg 1 and the head 2 are integrally formed of a synthetic resin material.
[0012]
As shown in FIG. 2, the leg portion 1 has two elastic locking walls 4 and flanges 6 extending in the axial direction through vertical slits 5, and the head portion 2 has a push nut 3 inside. The storage cavity 7 has a storage cavity 7 in which the inlet 7a side is smaller than the outer diameter of the push nut 3, and the inner cavity 7b side of the storage cavity 7 is larger than the outer diameter of the push nut 3. It is set. Therefore, the push nut 3 that has forcibly passed through the inlet 7 a of the storage cavity 7 can move freely within the possible range in the interior 7 b of the storage cavity 7.
[0013]
Further, the head 2 has an insertion hole 8 that communicates in a state orthogonal to the storage cavity 7 and passes through the boss portion of the door trim. The diameter of the insertion hole 8 is larger than the outer diameter of the boss portion. It is set to be larger. Accordingly, in combination with the above-described free movement of the push nut 3, the fixing clip itself can move relative to the boss portion by that amount. In the figure, reference numeral 2a denotes a cutout window formed on the upper surface of the head 2, which facilitates the bending of the side wall defining the inlet 7a of the storage cavity 7 so that the push nut 3 is inserted into and extracted from the storage cavity 7. It is something that makes it easy.
[0014]
Further, the metal push nut 3 housed in the housing cavity 7 of the head 2 has an inner hole 9 into which the boss part of the door trim is inserted at the center thereof, and the boss part of the door trim is formed at the edge of the inner hole 9. While the claw 10 is formed to be inclined, an opening 11 cut out from the inner hole 9 toward the outer periphery is opened, and the opening 7 protrudes outward from the inlet 7a of the storage cavity 7 at a portion facing the opening 11. However, the present invention is not limited to the knob 12 and can be configured with an exposed portion that can be gripped or hooked with a tool or the like. .
[0015]
Therefore, when the door trim 21 is fixed to the vehicle body panel P using the fixing clip having such a configuration, first, the gripping piece 12 of the push nut 3 is held with a tool or the like, and the storage cavity 7 of the head 2 is held. The push nut 3 is forcibly pushed in from the inlet 7a, and the push nut 3 is movably accommodated in the interior 7b of the accommodating cavity 7, so that the push nut 3 can be moved without being detached. When the boss portion 22 of the door trim 21 is inserted, as shown in FIG. 3, the boss portion 22 is inserted into the inner hole 9 of the push nut 3, and at the same time, the claw 10 formed on the edge of the inner hole 9 Accordingly, the fixing clip is attached to the boss portion 22 of the door trim 21 in advance. In this state, the knob 12 of the push nut 3 protrudes outward from the inlet 7 a of the storage cavity 7.
[0016]
Further, when the boss portion 22 of the door trim 21 is inserted into the inner hole 9 of the push nut 3 from the insertion hole 8 of the head 2, the push nut 3 moves in the storage cavity 7, and the inner hole 9 and the boss portion 22 are moved. Even if they do not coincide with each other, the claw 10 formed on the edge of the inner hole 9 is inclined, so if this inclined shape is used, the push nut 3 is automatically centered and inserted. As a result, insertion workability is improved.
[0017]
Then, as shown in FIG. 4, when the leg portion 1 of the fixing clip attached to the boss portion 22 side of the door trim 21 is pushed into the mounting hole H previously drilled in the vehicle body panel P, the leg portion 1 Each of the elastic locking walls 4 bends inward and passes through the mounting hole H and locks its overhanging shoulder to the edge of the mounting hole H, so that the door trim 21 is moved to the vehicle body panel P side. It can be fixed.
[0018]
In this final work, even if the positional relationship between the boss portion 22 of the door trim 21 and the mounting hole H of the vehicle body panel P is displaced, the displacement is effectively absorbed by the movement of the fixing clip with respect to the boss portion 22. Therefore, the fixed state of the door trim 21 can be ensured.
[0019]
Further, during the fixing operation of the door trim 21, for example, when the leg 1 of the fixing clip is damaged and the fixing clip needs to be replaced, the opening 11 of the push nut 3 is forcibly forced to the door trim 21. When the knob 12 of the push nut 3 protruding from the inlet 7a of the storage cavity 7 of the head 2 is gripped and pulled with a tool or the like while being spread by the boss portion 22 of the head 2, the boss of the push nut 3 is shown in FIG. The biting into the portion 22 is released and it is completely pulled out from the storage cavity 7, so that the fixing clip can be easily removed from the boss portion 22 and there is no fear of damaging the boss portion 22 along its axial direction.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the presence of the knob 12 protruding outward from the head 2 restricts the free rotation of the push nut 3 in the storage cavity 7 by the inlet 7a side of the storage cavity 7. Thus, when the push nut 3 is pulled out, the opening 11 of the push nut 3 can be set to an appropriate position at all times and can be easily gripped with a tool such as a pliers.

【The invention's effect】
As described above, the present invention adopts the above-described configuration, and in the state in which the fixing clip is attached to the boss portion of the mounting part, the push nut is forcibly expanded by the boss portion of the mounting part. If the part exposed from the head is gripped or pulled with a tool or the like, the push nut is released from the boss and the push nut is completely pulled out of the head. It can be easily removed from the boss, and the boss is not damaged along the axial direction. In addition to this, the push nut does not fall out of the storage cavity due to the difference in diameter, but it can move freely inside the storage cavity, so that the boss part of the mounting part is inserted into the inner hole of the push nut. However, since the push nut can be inserted while being automatically centered, the insertion workability is also improved.
